The latest release on Niche ‘n’ Bump, following drops from Beneath, Spatial and Samrai, comes from Semtek.
Semtek has slowly but surely carved out a reputation as one of the UK’s most reliable house and techno acts, both through his own productions and his work running the Don’t Be Afraid label (home of Mr. Beatnick’s excellent Sun Goddess trilogy, as well as music by DJ Bone and more). On ‘Bad Teeth’, Semtek takes things dark and gently psychedelic – there’s no OTT dynamic swings, no dramatic builds, just atmospherics that will sweep you away in the right settings, and one hell of a growling bassline. Nods to UK Funky in those stabs too, surely?
‘Bad Teeth’ / ‘John of Worcester’ will be released in mid-April. Stream the A-side below, and pre-order it here.
